Additional Information

The customer's map or data is using line features with offsets and consists of some complex and dense geometries. A suggested workaround for complex data when a line offset is used can be to highlight some attribute fields such as the ObjectID (OID) field to add features as non-dissolved geometries into the vector tiles. In this case, the dissolving of features does not happen, which will improve the features to render without distortions. Refer to this documentation: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/mapping/map-authoring/author-a-map-for-vector-tile-creation.htm for more information.

Workaround

  1. Launch the Create Vector Tile Index tool. In the Input Map parameter, add the map.
  2. Select a location for the output tile feature class as a folder using the browse button and specify a name (the output is a shapefile).
  3. Check the option of package for ArcGIS Online.
  4. Add the maximum vertex count to 150000 or greater.
  5. Run the tool.
  6. Launch the Create Vector Tile Index tool.
  7. From the Analysis tab on the ribbon, open the Create Vector Tile Index tool (the test_feature has the offset value applied to its symbology).
  8. In the Input Map parameter, add the map from the dropdown. Add the output file name and location for the vector tile using the browse button (ensuring that only the Test_feature is checked in the Contents pane).
  9. Keep the package for ArcGIS Online option checked.
  10. In the Index polygons parameter, select the browse button and add the shapefile created from the Create Vector Tile Index tool.
  11. Run the tool.
